On Sunday 10 May 1970 Illinois Central’s CITY OF NEW ORLEANS was preparing to leave New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal on its 16-hour-50-minute journey to Chicago. The train consisted of E6A 4001, E9B 2100, E9A 4042, a baggage car, a coach and a former Missouri Pacific dome car; but more cars would be picked up in Jackson, Mississippi. The SOUTHERN CRESCENT was parked two tracks over for its departure one hours after the CITY. |
